FORMULA

M(d)=If[ n == m, 2, If[(m == d &&n == d - 2) || (n == d && m == d - 2), -1, If[(n == m - 1 || n == m + 1) && n <= d - 1 && m <= d - 1, -1, 0]]]; At row level d : t(n,m)=CoefficientList[CharacteristicPloynomial[M(d),x],x]

MATHEMATICA

T[n_, m_, d_] := If[ n == m, 2, If[(m == d && n == d - 2) || ( n == d && m == d - 2), -1, If[(n == m - 1 || n == m + 1) && n <= d - 1 && m <= d - 1, -1, 0]]]; M[d_] := Table[T[n, m, d], {n, 1, d}, {m, 1, d}];
